"I hired this company to do electrical run from my house to my shed. I was so impressed with their work and then reasonable price for the work they did. I had another problem with electric in my kitchen. I called them to come and fix it which they did in a short amount of time for a reasonable price. I would call them anytime."

"A family of raccoons took up residence under our solar panels and caused significant damage to our roof. I initially tried to arrange a solar panel inspection with the company that installed them for us, but felt like I was being given the runaround when it came to quoting and scheduling the work, so I gave up and decided to take a flier on Green Sun Energy, and I'm glad I did - they quoted the work, we booked an appointment a few days later, then they did (as best as I can tell) a thorough inspection of the system. I intend to hire GSE again for related mitigation work later this summer and would highly recommend them to others who may require their services."

"Professional, responsive, and efficient. Sunup Solar designed and installed our off-grid system during late winter and fit into our time crunch to move into our new home. We are ecstatic to show photos and tell others how an off-grid lifestyle can be modern, and in our case, even within sight of on-grid neighbors. During the hottest days we run AC without worrying about a power bill, and when a summer storm hits our lights never go out. Our home has become an example for countless family and friends to consider building off-grid, and we continue to recommend Sunup Solar to folks across New England. Thank you Hunter and your team for powering our dream home."

"We got TWO (you see in pics one has green seat cover, the other purple) Kohler water saver 1.28gpf plug free toilets! I have special needs with my back and we got exactly what we wanted round bowl and standard height. He upgrades from glacier bay to awesome #1 Kohler us because of an initial miscommunication that we easily worked out. Yay! No more plugging AND water savings so they will pay for themselves within a year. Thank you Chuck. We will call your for our next plumbing job!"

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

In almost every case, solar panels need to be removed to replace roof shingles. In some cases, such as solar installations where the panels are on raised platforms above the roof surface, installers may be able to install new shingles without removing the solar installation. However, to get a quality roofing installation, panels need to come off. Most roofing contractors won’t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you’ll need to contact your solar provider.

Yes, it is possible to install solar panels on a tar and gravel roof, but it is not the ideal roofing material for a solar installation. The process requires roof penetrations to install the solar racking system. While installers will seal these penetrations, they still increase the risk of leaks. This risk is higher on tar and gravel roofs, which are often flat. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks than sloped roofs because they can pool water during heavy rain and hold snow for longer periods, exposing the roof to more moisture.

There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a local solar panel company before hiring them:

  • Will you handle permits for the installation?

  • Does your total price include the equipment and labor?

  • How long do you expect the installation process to take?

  • What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?

  • Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?

  • Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?

  • Will you file for solar incentives for me?

While solar panels can be a great investment, they aren’t ideal for every roof. For example, some roofs, especially older or structurally weak ones, may struggle to support the added weight, leading to potential damage. Roofs with complex designs, obstructions, or limited sunlight exposure might not provide optimal conditions for solar energy production. Consider these downsides when determining if solar panel installation costs are worth it.

Yes, you should tell your home insurance company about your solar panels. Even if you believe they’re covered by your existing policy, installing a solar panel system is a significant change to your home. This can affect coverage and premiums. By discussing your new solar panel installation with your insurance provider, you can be sure you have enough coverage and that the policy completely covers the panels against damage.
